SmallRig 6023 "HawkLock" Quick Release Half Cage for Sony Alpha 7 V / 7R V / 7 IV — Arca-Swiss quick release for fast transitions between gimbal, tripod and handheld use

This SmallRig half cage gives your Sony Alpha 7 V / 7R V / 7 IV extra mounting options and faster setup changes. It integrates an Arca-Swiss quick release plate so you can move smoothly between Arca-type tripods, DJI gimbals, and handheld configurations.

Designed for fast switching between gimbal, tripod and handheld setups

Accessory mounts and ergonomic touches

The cage includes a built-in cold shoe for items like the DJI Mic 2 or compact lights. You will also find a QD socket at the base to attach shoulder straps, improving portability during handheld shoots.

Quick release with auto-locking slide-in

The bottom quick release plate works with the "HawkLock" H38 Arca-Swiss quick release mount plate. This enables a rapid slide-in attachment that features an auto-locking mechanism, helping secure the camera quickly and reliably when placing it on compatible supports.
